Dog Breeds

Beagle

 

The Beagle is a scent hound. They are thought to have become a distinct breed in England in the days of Henry VII, though they may have originated in France or Greece. Over the years, the dogs have been favoured by other royalty: Queen Elizabeth I, King James I, King George IV, and Prince Albert. 

 


Do read ALL the breeders ads. If they have puppies, arrange for a video call. It's fun to see puppies playing together, and to chat to the breeder about them in real time!

About Beagles

Beagles were bred for hunting hare in packs, with the huntsmen following on foot.

Nowadays Beagles are sometimes used to hunt fox with the hunters on horseback. They have an excellent sense of smell and if they get out the gate, will follow the scent of a dog, cat or other animal. A good fence is required. Beagle puppies can get out of a hole in the fence, so do check the fence before getting a puppy. 

Being a lively, energetic dog, they like a big yard and lots of exercise. Hounds can howl loudly, which can annoy neighbours if the houses are close. They are pack animals and like company - either of other dogs, or people.

An early record of a dog resembling a beagle occurs in the papers of King Henry VIII of England.

Early development of breeds of dogs. 

Beagles will bark loudly at intruders but their temperament is friendly. They like exercise and long walks. A puppy needs consistent training as the adult dog can be strong-willed.  

Beagles have been known to develop eye problems, hypothyroidism, and epilepsy, but of course not every Beagle is affected. Most beagles are healthy, happy, friendly dogs.

The Beagle's short coat needs no grooming, but all dogs benefit from regular brushing. All-white beagles were kept by Prince Albert. The adult dog grows to a height of 33 - 40 cm.

Class: hound.

Colour: the most common is tricolour - brown, black and white, but many beagles are bicolour (2 colours) - eg red and white, tan & white, black & white, lemon & white. ("Lemon" is a pale beige colour.) hare pied, lemon pied, all white, or mottled. Liver and other colours are not allowed.

Height at shoulder: 33 - 40 cms minimum.

Beagles love to hunt in a pack. When one dog sees a rabbit, he rushes after it, barking excitedly to encourage the pack to follow. We are pack animals too! That's why folk like to go to church and meet other people. "Let's not stop gathering together (as some do) but let's encourage one another!"  Hebrews chapter 10 verse 25

A dog that is similar to a Beagle is the Basset Hound.  Basset Hounds have similar colouring to a Beagle. They are bigger with shorter legs and longer, floppy ears. Like the Beagle, the Basset Hound is a scent hound. The two breeds were interbred at one point.
